Constructor & Destructor Documentation

QgsVector() [1/2]

QgsVector::QgsVector

(

)

Default constructor for QgsVector.

Creates a vector with length of 0.0.

Definition at line 31 of file qgspoint.cpp.

QgsVector() [2/2]

QgsVector::QgsVector	(	double	x,
		double	y
	)

Constructor for QgsVector taking x and y component values.

Parameters

x	x-component
y	y-component

Definition at line 37 of file qgspoint.cpp.

Member Function Documentation

angle() [1/2]

double QgsVector::angle

(

)

const

Returns the angle of the vector in radians.

Definition at line 83 of file qgspoint.cpp.

angle() [2/2]

double QgsVector::angle

(

QgsVector

v

)

const

Returns the angle between this vector and another vector in radians.

Definition at line 89 of file qgspoint.cpp.

length()

double QgsVector::length

(

)

const

Returns the length of the vector.

Definition at line 63 of file qgspoint.cpp.

normal()

QgsVector QgsVector::normal

Will throw an expection if called on a vector with length of 0.

Deprecated:

use normalized() instead

Definition at line 101 of file qgspoint.cpp.

normalized()

QgsVector QgsVector::normalized

(

)

const

Returns the vector's normalized (or "unit") vector (ie same angle but length of 1.0).

Will throw an expection if called on a vector with length of 0.

Definition at line 106 of file qgspoint.cpp.
